Pet rats who were discovered abandoned in charred and blackened hutches, thought to have been deliberately set on fire, are looking for a fresh start.
Three of the rats are being cared for by the RSPCA at Gonsal Farm near Shrewsbury.Both enclosures had suffered damage to their doors and base, although thankfully the flames had failed to take hold. All the rodents - nine males and six females - survived, although the females had singed fur and badly charred whiskers, with just the very tips remaining.
Five remained at the centre and Craig and Greg are the last of that group still waiting to be adopted. The others were transferred to the RSPCA’s Newbrook Farm Animal Centre in Birmingham and Lorna, Bella and Stella to Gonsal Farm near Shrewsbury. Despite their traumatic experience, Craig and his best friend Greg have grown in confidence in foster care with RSPCA animal rescue officer Melanie Froude, and the duo are now looking for a permanent new home together.
